I'm just new to nn (only installed for one week, version 6.3.8 #64)
and have some questions which I cannot solve consulting the manual.

1) A problem concerning the decode option for decoding multiple 
   splitted uuencoded binaries from the appropriate groups. I often
   take binaries from the Atari group. The last line in splitted
   articles is the include foo.ua? line, so if the articles are
   saved in .uaa .uab etc. they can be easily decoded with uud.
   But I don't want to save the articles, decode should do all
   the work for me. Unfortunately, decode don't understand the
   include lines and prints "Could not handle include lines, use
   uud". Any idea, how to get decode work with the include lines ?

2) How can I change the save-counter variable to get an alphabetic
   numbering like uaa, uab, etc ? The manual only describes %d for
   numerical numbering.
